What is the UN? The U.N. stands for United Nations. It is like a club for the world's countries. It has 191 members. Your own country is probably a member.
Why do the counties want to be in club? The United Nations' goal is to work towards peace in the world. The members of the UN vote on what the United Nations should do when there is a problem. Who is the boss? The chief of the United Nations is called the Secretary-General.

For example, UNICEF, or United Nations Children Education Foundation, focuses on the rights and needs of children. UNEP, or the United Nations Environment Programme, focuses on the environment. WFP, or the World Food Program, focuses on food problems.
